The Gorgeous G Family... Jupiter Family Photographer

I've known this family for 2 years now.  Little A has been in  my daughter's preschool class for the past 2 years & they've become good friends.  I was so honored when his family asked me to capture some new family images that they can give to their family back home in Italy!  We had GREAT weather last weekend at the Juno Beach Pier!  Here are a few of my favs... :)

Sweet Baby V.... 6 days old.... Jupiter Newborn Photographer

I really enjoyed meeting sweet Mr. V last week for his newborn portraits!  He was such a cutie & such a GREAT sleeper for me!!!  We enjoyed posing him & getting creative with these adorable basketball booties that his dad brought out!  He's ready to get his game on! :)  Here are a few of my favs.... :)

6 month old B & his adorable family... sneak peek :) Palm Beach Family Photographer

I love getting to watch my clients grow!  I first photographed little B this past October for his newborn session.....

Well I was super excited to see how big he's gotten & complete his 6-month old session last week!  He is such an adorable cutie & we had a great time capturing some nice "rustic" images at my ranch location! :)  I can't wait to see what we come up with for his one year old session in the fall! 

And this just cracks me up..... LOVE those little feet!!!!!

Mother's Day Love.... Palm Beach Family Photographer

I am so honored to be able to capture special moments for the families I work with.  In honor of Mother's day, I've put together a little collage of some of the 2012 momma's I've photographed this year! :)  Thank you all for choosing me to capture these moments with your precious babies!  I absolutely love what I do.  And I wouldn't be where I am without the amazing example of what a mother is from my own fabulous mom.... and the love & support from my team at home!  Love you all!  Happy Mother's Day 2012!!

My fabulous Mom:

The two precious miracles who made me a mom.... the BEST job of all! 

Handsome Mr. A.... 5 days old... Palm Beach Newborn Photographer

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to assist my friend Tristine with T Davis Images in photographing the adorable Mr. A, who is the son of a local photographer friend of ours - Rachel from Moments & Milestones Photography.  We had such a blast playing with sweet baby A  My favorite set-up was of course the set up with Rachel's vintage cameras.  We had all seen a few similar poses on pintrest with babies with the vintage cameras, so that inspired us to give it our own spin!  I love what we created!  What makes it even more perfect is that when Rachel pulled out her cameras, she said "You know, I love this Brownie camera..... but I hate that it is missing it's bulb".... and low & behold.... who randomly has a bulb for a vintage brownie camera in her purse..... Yep.... this girl!  Total randomness... fate.... but it helped make the PERFECT image.  If I ever have another baby, I definitely want a similar pose! :)  Here are a few of my favorite's from A's session....

Sweet A & M at the Horse Farm.... Palm Beach Child Photographer

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of working with two very talented local photographers on a shoot that for me was such a creative outlet!  I headed up to Palm City, FL with Sandra Bianco Photography and Brooke Logue Photography to photograph some absolutely adorable cuties with some beautiful horses!  The warm sun.... beautiful kiddos.... and great company made this shoot such a fun experience!  What was even better was getting to photograph some amazing neckalces by Isla Charm Designs  - be sure to check her out for gorgeous M2M Matilda Jane pieces!!!  Here are a few of my favorites from the Horse Farm...

 

 

8 day old Miss K.... Palm Beach Newborn Photographer

Recently, I had the pleasure of traveling back up to Tallahassee, FL to visit some old college friends!  It was great returning to my old stompin' grounds... but it was even better getting to meet & snuggle with the adorable 8 day old Miss K, who is the daughter of some friends of ours up in Tallahassee.  I love, love, loved this session!  I enjoyed working with my friend Kate from Bellflower Photography in Tallahassee while we captured sweet Miss K in some beautiful settings!  (wish we had wildflowers down here in South Florida!).  Here are a few of my favorites from K's session....

Here she is with her adorable big sister:

 

Sweet baby H... 10 days old.... Palm Beach Newborn Photographer

It was my pleasure meeting adorable 10 day old Mr. H a few weeks ago to capture his newborn portraits.  I co-shot this session with my friend Tristine from T Davis Images.  We had a great time working together & captured such sweet images of this handsome little fellow! Here are a few of my favorites from the session....

 

April Showers...... Rock The Shot April.... "Water"

When I saw the theme for Rock the Shot's April contest was Water... I of course immediately thought of "April Showers bring May Flowers".....

Here's my take on April Showers......

This is just the first I am posting here of a gorgeous session I did with this theme!  This session featured this incredible 8 ft by 6 ft rainbow that was hand-made by my amazing set designer, Trisha Varney.  I explained my "vision" for the shoot & she went with it & created the perfect larger than life rainbow for me!  I just love it! 

This is my entry into Rock the Shot's April contest - www.rocktheshotforum.com

... Stay tuned for more images from this AMAZING session!!

Little Princesses... *Tutu That Commerical Shoot.... South Florida Commercial Product Photographer

Can tutus change the world?  Maybe not.  Can girls wearing *Tutu That tutus change the world?  You bet.  *Tutu That believes in the powerful influence girls can have on the future of our world and they have made it their mission to empower one girl at a time... who in turn will EMPOWER women around the world to lift themselves from poverty.  *Tutu That donates 100% of their profits to anti-poverty programs around the world that will enable women to become trained, educated, and self-sufficient.

When Gaby from *Tutu That contacted me a few months ago about taking some promotional images for them, I was interested at first because tutus are fun and I have two little girls who LOVE being princesses.... then when I checked out her website and facebok page, I fell in LOVE with the company.  I mean, adorable, quality tutus that also stand up for girl power & help to make a difference.... PERFECT!

This shoot would not have happened without two great friends of mine.... Tristine Davis of T Davis Images who supplied this awesome turquoise couch & helped shoot the session with me and my amazing set designer, Trisha Varney Photography Designs. 

Here are the newest members of the Tutu That Princess Club....
